Mónica Oltra Jarque (ˈmonika ˈɔltɾa/)[1] is a Spanish left-wing politician, and the ex-vice president, ex-spokesperson and ex-minister for Equality and Inclusive Policies of the Valencian government.
Born in Germany to a Spanish immigrants family, she returned to Spain in 1984 and shortly after joined the Communist Party of Spain.[2]
Mónica Oltra has served as one of the main leaders[3] of the political party Valencian People's Initiative (IdPV) and of Coalició Compromís (Commitment Coalition), a coalition which she has represented in the Valencian parliament,[4] representing the province of Valencia since 2007 until her resignation in 2022. She holds a bachelor's degree in Law from the University of Valencia. Alongside being a politician, she also works as a lawyer.
In June 2022 she was accused by José Luis Roberto Navarro, a known valencian far-right wing activist,[5] of covering up the case of sexual abuse by her ex-husband of a 14 years old minor under guardianship.[6] Despite the pressure, she initially refused to resign her position of the vice-president of Valencian government.[7] [8] However, after PSOE-Valencia threatened to break the governing Botanic coalition, she resigned on 21 June.[9] In June 2023, the judicial police released a report that allegedly supports Oltra's version that no cover-up had occurred[10] and in April 2024, the tribunal ruled that there were not any evidence and filed the case.[11]
